Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected as part of the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment. Data were collected from Ships SHI YAN 3 and XIANG YANG HONG 05 from January 1, 1992 to March 30, 1993. 461 files of CTD data (China 3) were submitted using File Transfer Protocol by National Oceanographic Data Center of the Peoples Republic of China to NODC.

Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected as part of the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment. Data were collected from Ships SHI YAN 3 and XIANG YANG HONG 05. Data were collected from November 1, 1991 to November 31, 1993. 289 files of CTD data (China 1) were submitted using File Transfer Protocol by National Oceanographic Data Center of the Peoples Republic of China to US NODC.

Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected as part of Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere and World Ocean Circulation Experiment. Data were collected from Ships XIANG YANG HONG 05 between November 16, 1991 and December 11, 1991. CTD data from China2 data set containing 164 profiles (164 files) was submitted to US NODC using File Transfer Protocol by National Oceanographic Data Center of the Peoples Republic of China.

Temperature and salinity profiles were collected from CTD and XBT casts from multiple ships from 15 August 1996 to 09 April 1997. Data were collected in the Antarctic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and other locations as part of the Master Oceanographic Observation Data Set (MOODS).

This dataset contains CTD from R/V SHIJIAN cruise EC-2, Nov. 18-23, 1981. These data were released by Dr. Bob Beardsley, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and are the result of a joint U.S. / China research effort. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution CTD/STD (F022) format. The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity, and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t), and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. A text record is available for comments.

The Hi resolution conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD); Ocean Station data (OSD); Zooplankton; Bacteria; and Assorted Radiochemical data in this accession was collected as part of Bering & Pacific Russian/US Cooperative (BERPAC) Research Program between January 1 to December 31, 1993. Oceanographic Station Data contain physical and chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. The Oceanographic Station Data observations were made using multi-bottle Nansen casts or other types of water samplers. The data was submitted to NODC by Dr. Clifford P. Rice, United States Department of Agriculture.

Temperature, salinity, and other data were collected from CTD casts from the Akademik Kurchatov and other platforms from 14 June 1987 to 30 October 1987. CTD data include temperature and salinity profiles. Data were submitted by the P.Shirshov Institute of Oceanology.

Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) datasets were obtained from the tropical Pacific (equator, 156E) at 3 or 6 hours intervals over period spanning from November 29, 1992 to December 26, 1992. The data was collected from R/V Hakuho Maru cruise kh925 as part of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere and Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment project. The dataset consists of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and potential density data. The data are at one meter intervals between 0 m depth and 1000 m depth. The salinity data was calibrated by comparison with rosette data. 101 CTD casts data was submitted by Kensuke Takeuchi from Institute of Low Temperature Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected from Ship WECOMA cruise # W9308A. The data was collected over a period spanning from August 3, 1993 to August 7, 1993. Raw Data from 7 CTD casts using "SEABIRD" was submitted via FTP by Dr. Frederick Prahl of Oregon State University, Corvallis OR. The study was funded by NSF Grant # OCE 9203292.

Temperature, salinity, and nutrients data were collected from CTD and bottle casts in the Pacific Ocean from the Nathaniel B. Palmer from 08 October 1996 to 05 November 1996. Data were collected as part of the US JGOFS Antarctic Environments Southern Ocean Process Study (AESOPS). CTD data include temperature and salinity profiles. Bottle data include concentration profiles of nitrate, nitrite, silicate, phosphate, ammonia, phaeopigment, and chlorophyll a.
